Hello. I am very new to mountain biking. Like yesterdayish. This is dangerous. I fell into a ravine. I also broke my bike. Unrelated. I hit a wall of dirt kinda fast and the fork part of my bike bent. Anyway, I'm sad, but I need a new bike. I honestly can't spend more than 200ish right now, but that's bad, right? I need help. Also should I be saving parts from my dead bike?

Sounds like you are finding some fun terrain for riding. A 200 bike will end up the same.
This Marin is trail ready with a good fork. Maybe you can sell something to put a little more into play.

That would be great but it's ebay and i'd definitely be outbid. I found a schwinn that claims to be steel? I don't know. I'll check craigslist and stuff. But yeah, John Slidell Park, it's listed here.

Check with the service guys in your local shops for an old bike one of them might have lying around at home that they would recommend for those trails. Also local club forum classifieds.
